Auto cluster
#1
Hi! All.
I'm kind of new to Raspberry. But not with Microchip, assembler and Visual Basic and electronic in general. I'd like to build an auto cluster (Rpm - Oil pressure - Volt etc.) using a PI3 and the 7in LCD sold for it. I'll have an external "RTC clock" and "ADC" as input.
What I'd like to know is
1: How to build and show some panel meter graphic on the LCD
2: How to input the data from "I2C" for the RTC and the ADC
3: How to show those value to the LCD at some update interval.
4: How to place a button on the LCD to be able to switch screen
from the cluster to an MP3 player or an diagnostic screen. (And vice versa)

Bonus:
5: How to add a MP3 player software and hardware, using a USB key or hard drive.
I'll need a DAC for better quality. And being able to show the title of the track.
at either the cluster and MP3 screen

I don't need all the code but at least the guided line to do it.

In short, inputting value from ADC and GPIO and display it on LCD
Be able to switch to the MP3 player to pick up the playlist on a USB key.
(While in MP3 player, nothing is working for the cluster (Don't need it)
But while in cluster, if the MP3 is working, must be able to continue playing.

Many thanks for your help.
